IWC Schaffhausen Opens a Pop-Up Store at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in Partnership with Gassan Diamonds, the Official IWC Retail Partner in the Netherlands

Swiss luxury watch brand IWC Schaffhausen opens a pop-up store at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. It is the first pop-up store in the world with a fully dedicated concept celebrating the brand’s 150th anniversary. Travelers passing through Europe’s third-busiest airport can now discover an exclusive selection of timepieces from IWC’s iconic watch families.

The IWC pop-up store is located in the non-Schengen part of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in Lounge 2. Across a total surface area of 139 square meters and spread over two floors, it features a library, a lounge area, and a bar where visitors can enjoy a refreshing drink, upon invitation. The pop-up store is operated in cooperation with Gassan, official IWC retail partner in the Netherlands.

Visitors of the pop-up store at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol can discover an exclusive selection from IWC’s six product families: the iconic Pilot’s Watches, which bring the dream of flying to the wrist; the timelessly elegant Portugieser, which stands for sophistication and Haute Horlogerie; the refined and elegant Portofino, which epitomizes the laidback Italian lifestyle; the functional and sporty Aquatimer diver’s watches, which are reliable companions for adventures underwater and on land; the sporty and elegant Ingenieur, which draws inspiration from classic car races and vintage automobiles; or the beautiful Da Vinci, which combines the inventive spirit of IWC’s engineers with an extraordinary aesthetic.
